Joe Philbin said he has not been part of any conversations about Aaron Rodgers not playing in the final two games of the season even though the Packers were eliminated from playoff contention.
"Obviously we have to go through the week, we would never put any player who wasn't physically ready to go. That's my philosophy for Aaron Rodgers or anyone place.
